You simply stick the wallpaper on the wall, and then peel it off when you need to. Removable wallpaper is a fantastic option for people that change their mind a lot--like kids.

Can small tears in wallpaper be repaired?

Under the right circumstances, small tears in wallpaper can be fixed. You will need to find matching wallpaper, so always save any remnants when hanging wallpaper. If it is patterned, this will make it more challenging as you will need to cut pieces that match the tear. Then prepare the piece and simply replace it over the vacated area. This can be challenging for wall paper with heavy patterns or multiple colors, but it can be a fun DIY challenge.

How to remove wallpaper?

To remove wallpaper there are several techniques to use. First, spray the paper with water or a wallpaper-remover solution and let it sit for a few minutes to penetrate the glue. If you have a scoring tool you can use it first as it will create holes in the paper, then the water or solution can seep behind the wall paper to help loosen it. Once the paper has soaked, try peeling it off. If you have difficulty, use more water or solution until the paper peels off easier. Most likely there will be glue residue left over that you will need to scrape off. If hanging new paper, properly prepare the wall surface prior.

Can wallpaper be hanged over existing wallpaper?

Yes, you can absolutely hang new wallpaper over existing wallpaper. However, if the existing paper is textured, cracked or damaged, hanging new paper over it can be problematic as those features can be seen in the new paper.

Glass cloth is a term used for hand-woven natural wall coverings, usually made of textured patterns with a vertical design.
